CARE

Our jewellery is meant to be lived in and cherished, yet like all precious things they should be treated with tenderness.

We advise removing your jewelry while tending your garden, developing a roll of film, lifting weights or all other activities which may be too rough on your piece. 

how to care

WEAR MORE, CLEAN LESS
Friction caused by everyday wear gently polishes your jewellery so surface impurities have less chance to adhere to the surface of the metal. With time your piece will acquire fine scratches and surface marks, this is normal.

AVOID CHEMICALS
Perspiration will cause your metal to tarnish and get duller, so work out without jewellery. Chemicals in cleaning agents can damage the metal and stones. Put on your jewellery after your morning routine for the chemicals in your perfume, hair products and creams can damage or tarnish your piece over time.  Chlorine, shampoo, soap and salt water can all tarnish your jewellery. Remove your jewels before taking a shower or jumping in the pool or ocean.
